Poll: Jersey Voters Skeptical of Christie Vindication
Only a third think it was legitimate.
Politico reports: “New Jersey voters think an investigation commissioned by Gov. Chris Christie’s office that cleared him of wrongdoing in the George Washington Bridge scandal is a “whitewash,” according to a new poll. Of the 96 percent of New Jersey voters who had heard of the controversy over the lane closures and resulting traffic jam on the bridge, allegedly ordered by Christie’s staff as political retribution, 56 percent said the investigation was a “whitewash,” according to a Quinnipiac poll out Wednesday. Thirty-six percent said the investigation was a legitimate one.”
One other bad bit of news for Christie: Two-thirds of Jersey voters believe he ordered the bridge closure; Christie has denied involvement.
